[Removed] Streamlight TLR-7 Key For Canik MC9, MC9 Prime

UPDATE: Streamlight has asked us to remove the key file, which we will honor. If you’re running a Canik MC9, the “Sub” lights (TLR-7Sub 1913, TLR-8Sub 1913) fit properly. However, if you’ve purchased the TLR-7 or TLR-8 for your MC9, and want it to fit, you can contact Streamlight customer service to request a key. I don’t know if or when they will produce keys for the MC9 with the TLR-7 lights, but I recommend putting the request in.

The rest of the page is here for archival purposes.


I created an indexing key that allows TLR-7’s and TLR-8’s to attach to the Canik MC9 frame.

A few notes:

  • Your print settings and filament will determine whether or not this key is suitable for live fire.
  • I can’t endorse any specific end product as suitable for duty/critical/EDC use.
  • Determining whether or not this key suits your needs is up to you.
  • Do not attempt to use this key with any lights or firearms not listed below.

In the event of key failure:

  • Light may unexpectedly eject from the pistol during live fire
  • Light-bearing holsters may function improperly/unsafely

All that said, this is designed to be as strong as possible, and preliminary shock testing results look promising.

Next, you’re probably wondering where you can find a holster for such a setup. At Werkz, we’ve tossed around the idea of making them, but we’re looking to gauge interest – is this something you guys would like to run? Let me know down below.

He designed the Origin series of holsters in 2022, bringing a new level of concealability and comfort to outside-the-waistband holsters. Unhappy with the compromises of multi-fit holsters from the competition, Cole later introduced the Outlier series, allowing those running unique pistols to carry comfortably, inside or outside the waistband, without compromising safety or retention.
